+# Where are the OpenGL Draw Calls? Understanding draw2dgl Architecture
+
+## The Original Question
+
+> "Where is the code that actually calls OpenGL? All I can find are a few lines in gc.go that render lines. But where are the triangles getting rendered?"
+
+## The Answer
+
+The original `draw2dgl` backend **does not render triangles**. Instead, it uses an unusual approach:
+
+### How draw2dgl Works
+
+1. **Paths are rasterized to horizontal scanlines** using the freetype rasterizer (`github.com/golang/freetype/raster`)
+2. **Scanlines are converted to OpenGL lines** in the `Painter` struct
+3. **Lines are rendered using legacy OpenGL** with client-side arrays
+
+#### The Actual OpenGL Calls (draw2dgl/gc.go, lines 82-95)
+
+```go
+func (p *Painter) Flush() {
+    if len(p.vertices) != 0 {
+        // Enable legacy client-side arrays (deprecated in OpenGL 3.0+)
+        gl.EnableClientState(gl.COLOR_ARRAY)
+        gl.EnableClientState(gl.VERTEX_ARRAY)
+        
+        // Set up pointers to vertex and color data
+        gl.ColorPointer(4, gl.UNSIGNED_BYTE, 0, gl.Ptr(p.colors))
+        gl.VertexPointer(2, gl.INT, 0, gl.Ptr(p.vertices))
+
+        // THIS IS THE ACTUAL DRAW CALL
+        // Renders horizontal lines from the rasterized spans
+        gl.DrawArrays(gl.LINES, 0, int32(len(p.vertices)/2))
+        
+        gl.DisableClientState(gl.VERTEX_ARRAY)
+        gl.DisableClientState(gl.COLOR_ARRAY)
+        
+        // Clear buffers for next batch
+        p.vertices = p.vertices[0:0]
+        p.colors = p.colors[0:0]
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### The Rendering Pipeline
+
+```
+Vector Path → Stroke/Fill → Rasterizer → Spans → Lines → OpenGL
+```
+
+Detailed flow:
+
+1. **User defines path**: `gc.MoveTo()`, `gc.LineTo()`, `gc.CubicCurveTo()`, etc.
+2. **Path is stroked or filled**: `gc.Stroke()` or `gc.Fill()` is called
+3. **Path is flattened**: Curves converted to line segments
+4. **Rasterizer processes path**: Freetype's rasterizer converts to coverage spans
+5. **Painter receives spans**: Each span is a horizontal line with alpha coverage
+6. **Spans converted to GL vertices**: `Painter.Paint()` adds vertices to buffer
+7. **GL renders the lines**: `Painter.Flush()` calls `gl.DrawArrays(gl.LINES, ...)`
+
+### Why No Triangles?
+
+The original implementation chose to reuse the CPU rasterizer from freetype rather than implementing GPU-based triangulation. This means:
+
+- ❌ **No triangle rendering**
+- ❌ **No GPU-accelerated rasterization**
+- ✅ CPU does all the heavy lifting
+- ✅ OpenGL just displays the pre-rasterized result as lines
+
+This approach has several problems:
+- Limited to OpenGL 2.1 (client-side arrays are deprecated)
+- Inefficient (rasterizing on CPU, then uploading lines to GPU)
+- Not compatible with OpenGL ES or modern contexts
+- Many draw calls (one per span)
+
+## The Modern Solution: draw2dgles2
+
+The new `draw2dgles2` package addresses these limitations with proper GPU rendering:
+
+### Modern Rendering Pipeline
+
+```
+Vector Path → Flatten → Triangulate → Batch → GPU Shaders
+```
+
+1. **Paths are flattened** to line segments
+2. **Polygons are triangulated** using ear-clipping algorithm
+3. **Triangles are batched** in GPU memory
+4. **Custom shaders render** the triangles
+
+### Where Are the Triangles in draw2dgles2?
+
+#### Triangulation (draw2dgles2/triangulate.go)
+
+The `Triangulate()` function converts polygons to triangles:
+
+```go
+// Ear-clipping algorithm
+func Triangulate(vertices []Point2D) []uint16 {
+    // Returns triangle indices
+    // Each triplet of indices forms one triangle
+}
+```
+
+#### Triangle Rendering (draw2dgles2/gc.go)
+
+```go
+func (r *Renderer) AddPolygon(vertices []Point2D, c color.Color) {
+    // 1. Triangulate the polygon
+    triangleIndices := Triangulate(vertices)
+    
+    // 2. Add vertices to batch
+    for _, v := range vertices {
+        r.vertices = append(r.vertices, v.X, v.Y)
+    }
+    
+    // 3. Add colors
+    for range vertices {
+        r.colors = append(r.colors, rf, gf, bf, af)
+    }
+    
+    // 4. Add triangle indices
+    for _, idx := range triangleIndices {
+        r.indices = append(r.indices, baseIdx+idx)
+    }
+}
+
+func (r *Renderer) Flush() {
+    // Upload to GPU via VBO
+    gl.BufferData(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, len(data)*4, gl.Ptr(data), gl.STREAM_DRAW)
+    
+    // THIS IS THE ACTUAL TRIANGLE DRAW CALL
+    gl.DrawElements(gl.TRIANGLES, int32(len(r.indices)), gl.UNSIGNED_SHORT, gl.Ptr(r.indices))
+}
+```
+
+### Comparison Table
+
+| Aspect | draw2dgl (Old) | draw2dgles2 (New) |
+|--------|----------------|-------------------|
+| **Rasterization** | CPU (freetype) | GPU (triangles) |
+| **Primitives** | Horizontal lines | Triangles |
+| **OpenGL Calls** | `DrawArrays(LINES)` | `DrawElements(TRIANGLES)` |
+| **Memory** | Client arrays | VBOs |
+| **Shaders** | None (fixed-function) | Custom GLSL |
+| **Batching** | Per-span | All shapes |
+| **OpenGL Version** | 2.1 only | ES 2.0 / 3.0+ / WebGL |
+| **Performance** | Low | High |
+
+## Code Locations
+
+### draw2dgl (Legacy)
+
+- **Main file**: `draw2dgl/gc.go`
+- **OpenGL draw call**: Line 90: `gl.DrawArrays(gl.LINES, ...)`
+- **Painter**: Lines 26-120 (converts rasterizer spans to lines)
+- **Flush method**: Lines 82-96 (the actual rendering)
+
+### draw2dgles2 (Modern)
+
+- **Main file**: `draw2dgles2/gc.go`
+- **OpenGL draw call**: Line ~168: `gl.DrawElements(gl.TRIANGLES, ...)`
+- **Triangulation**: `draw2dgles2/triangulate.go`
+- **Shaders**: `draw2dgles2/shaders.go`
+- **Renderer**: Lines 18-284 (manages GPU resources)
+
+## Key Insights
+
+1. **draw2dgl doesn't use triangles** - it renders rasterized spans as horizontal lines
+2. **The "trick" is in the Painter** - it receives coverage spans from the rasterizer and converts them to OpenGL lines
+3. **Modern OpenGL requires triangles** - which is why draw2dgles2 was created
+4. **Triangulation is necessary** for GPU rendering - the ear-clipping algorithm handles this
+
+## Further Reading
+
+- **Rasterization vs GPU Rendering**: 
+  - CPU: compute pixel coverage → upload to GPU
+  - GPU: upload geometry → GPU computes coverage
+  
+- **Why Triangles**:
+  - GPUs are optimized for triangle rasterization
+  - All modern graphics APIs use triangles as the fundamental primitive
+  - Efficient hardware implementation
+
+- **Modern Approaches**:
+  - NV_path_rendering (NVIDIA extension for vector graphics)
+  - Loop-Blinn algorithm (curve rendering via shaders)
+  - Stencil-and-cover (two-pass rendering)
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The original draw2dgl's OpenGL calls are minimal because it offloads rasterization to the CPU. The new draw2dgles2 backend provides true GPU-accelerated rendering with triangle-based primitives and modern shader support, making it suitable for OpenGL ES 2.0 and beyond.

+# OpenGL ES 2 Backend Implementation Summary
+
+## Overview
+
+This document provides a comprehensive answer to the original issue: **"Where are the draw calls of the OpenGL backend?"** and presents a modern solution.
+
+## The Original Issue
+
+The user wanted to:
+1. Understand where the OpenGL draw calls are in `draw2dgl`
+2. Port the OpenGL backend to OpenGL ES 2 for better hardware support
+3. Get hardware acceleration for GUI rendering with shader effects
+
+## Answer to "Where are the OpenGL draw calls?"
+
+### In the Legacy `draw2dgl` Backend
+
+**Location**: `draw2dgl/gc.go`, lines 82-95
+
+**The Code**:
+```go
+func (p *Painter) Flush() {
+    if len(p.vertices) != 0 {
+        gl.EnableClientState(gl.COLOR_ARRAY)
+        gl.EnableClientState(gl.VERTEX_ARRAY)
+        gl.ColorPointer(4, gl.UNSIGNED_BYTE, 0, gl.Ptr(p.colors))
+        gl.VertexPointer(2, gl.INT, 0, gl.Ptr(p.vertices))
+        
+        // THE ACTUAL OPENGL DRAW CALL
+        gl.DrawArrays(gl.LINES, 0, int32(len(p.vertices)/2))
+        
+        gl.DisableClientState(gl.VERTEX_ARRAY)
+        gl.DisableClientState(gl.COLOR_ARRAY)
+        p.vertices = p.vertices[0:0]
+        p.colors = p.colors[0:0]
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Key Insight**: There are NO triangles in `draw2dgl`. The backend:
+1. Uses the freetype rasterizer to convert vector paths to coverage spans (horizontal lines)
+2. Converts these spans to OpenGL line vertices
+3. Renders them using `gl.DrawArrays(gl.LINES, ...)`
+
+This is why you couldn't find triangle rendering - it doesn't exist in the original implementation!
+
+### Why This Approach Was Problematic
+
+1. **Limited to OpenGL 2.1**: Uses deprecated client-side arrays
+2. **CPU-bound**: All rasterization happens on CPU
+3. **Inefficient**: Many draw calls, no batching
+4. **No ES2 support**: Not compatible with mobile/embedded systems
+5. **No shader support**: Fixed-function pipeline only
+
+## The Solution: draw2dgles2
+
+A new modern OpenGL ES 2.0+ backend with:
+
+### Architecture
+
+```
+Vector Paths → Flattening → Triangulation → GPU Batching → Shader Rendering
+```
+
+### Key Components
+
+#### 1. Triangulation (`draw2dgles2/triangulate.go`)
+- Ear-clipping algorithm converts polygons to triangles
+- O(n²) worst case, but fast for typical GUI shapes
+- Handles concave polygons correctly
+
+#### 2. Shader System (`draw2dgles2/shaders.go`)
+- Custom GLSL vertex and fragment shaders
+- Basic shader for filled/stroked shapes
+- Texture shader for text rendering
+
+#### 3. Renderer (`draw2dgles2/gc.go`)
+- Manages VBOs and shader programs
+- Batches triangles to minimize draw calls
+- Orthographic projection for screen coordinates
+
+### Where Are the Triangles in draw2dgles2?
+
+**Location**: `draw2dgles2/gc.go`, line ~168
+
+```go
+func (r *Renderer) Flush() {
+    // ... setup code ...
+    
+    // Upload geometry to GPU
+    gl.BufferData(gl.ARRAY_BUFFER, len(data)*4, gl.Ptr(data), gl.STREAM_DRAW)
+    
+    // THE ACTUAL TRIANGLE DRAW CALL
+    gl.DrawElements(gl.TRIANGLES, int32(len(r.indices)), gl.UNSIGNED_SHORT, gl.Ptr(r.indices))
+    
+    // ... cleanup ...
+}
+```
+
+### Comparison Table
+
+| Feature | draw2dgl (Legacy) | draw2dgles2 (Modern) |
+|---------|-------------------|----------------------|
+| **Primitive Type** | Lines | Triangles |
+| **Rasterization** | CPU (freetype) | GPU |
+| **OpenGL Version** | 2.1 (fixed pipeline) | ES 2.0+ (shaders) |
+| **Memory** | Client-side arrays | VBOs |
+| **Draw Calls** | Many (per span) | Few (batched) |
+| **Shaders** | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
+| **Mobile Support** | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
+| **Performance** | Low | High |
+| **Extensibility** | Limited | High |
+
+## Usage Example
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "image/color"
+    "github.com/llgcode/draw2d/draw2dgles2"
+    "github.com/llgcode/draw2d/draw2dkit"
+)
+
+func main() {
+    // Initialize OpenGL context (using GLFW, SDL, etc.)
+    // ...
+    
+    // Create graphics context
+    gc, _ := draw2dgles2.NewGraphicContext(800, 600)
+    defer gc.Destroy()
+    
+    // Draw a filled rectangle
+    gc.SetFillColor(color.RGBA{255, 0, 0, 255})
+    draw2dkit.Rectangle(gc, 100, 100, 300, 300)
+    gc.Fill()
+    
+    // Draw a stroked circle
+    gc.SetStrokeColor(color.RGBA{0, 0, 255, 255})
+    gc.SetLineWidth(5)
+    draw2dkit.Circle(gc, 400, 400, 100)
+    gc.Stroke()
+    
+    // Flush batched drawing commands
+    gc.Flush()
+}
+```
+
+## Benefits of the New Backend
+
+### 1. Hardware Acceleration
+- True GPU rendering with triangle rasterization
+- Efficient batching reduces draw calls
+- Modern GPU features available
+
+### 2. Shader Support
+- Custom GLSL shaders for effects
+- Easy to add blur, shadows, gradients
+- Post-processing capabilities
+
+### 3. Platform Compatibility
+- OpenGL ES 2.0+ (mobile, embedded)
+- OpenGL 3.0+ (desktop)
+- WebGL (browser)
+
+### 4. Performance
+- Batching minimizes state changes
+- GPU-based rasterization
+- VBOs for efficient memory usage
+
+### 5. Extensibility
+- Easy to add new shader effects
+- Texture atlas support for text
+- Custom render passes possible
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Triangulation Algorithm
+
+The ear-clipping algorithm:
+1. Finds a "convex vertex" (an "ear" of the polygon)
+2. Creates a triangle from this vertex and its neighbors
+3. Removes the vertex from the polygon
+4. Repeats until only 3 vertices remain
+
+This produces the minimum number of triangles needed to represent the polygon.
+
+### Batching System
+
+All geometry is collected in buffers:
+- `vertices`: Position data (x, y pairs)
+- `colors`: Color data (r, g, b, a)
+- `indices`: Triangle indices
+
+When `Flush()` is called:
+1. Data is interleaved (position + color per vertex)
+2. Uploaded to GPU via VBO
+3. Single `DrawElements` call renders everything
+4. Buffers are cleared for next frame
+
+### Coordinate System
+
+Screen coordinates with origin at top-left:
+- (0, 0) = top-left corner
+- (width, height) = bottom-right corner
+- Y-axis points downward
+
+Projection matrix converts to OpenGL normalized device coordinates (-1 to 1).

+# draw2dgles2 - OpenGL ES 2.0 Renderer for draw2d
+
+## Overview
+
+`draw2dgles2` is a modern, efficient OpenGL ES 2.0-compatible renderer for the draw2d library. It provides hardware-accelerated vector graphics rendering using shader-based techniques, making it suitable for:
+
+- Modern desktop OpenGL (3.0+)
+- OpenGL ES 2.0+ (mobile devices, embedded systems)
+- WebGL applications
+- Cross-platform GUI applications requiring hardware acceleration
+
+## Why OpenGL ES 2.0?
+
+The original `draw2dgl` backend uses OpenGL 2.1 with the legacy fixed-function pipeline (immediate mode):
+- Limited to OpenGL 2.1 contexts
+- Uses `gl.EnableClientState` and immediate mode rendering
+- Not compatible with modern GPU drivers or mobile devices
+- Inefficient: rasterizes everything to horizontal lines then renders them
+
+`draw2dgles2` addresses these limitations by using modern OpenGL features:
+- **Shader-based rendering** - Custom GLSL shaders for maximum flexibility
+- **Vertex Buffer Objects (VBOs)** - Efficient GPU memory management
+- **Triangle-based rendering** - Filled shapes rendered as triangles (not lines)
+- **Batching system** - Minimizes draw calls for better performance
+- **ES 2.0 compatible** - Works on mobile, web, and desktop
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Rendering Pipeline
+
+```
+Path Definition → Flattening → Triangulation → Batching → GPU Rendering
+```
+
+1. **Path Definition**: User defines paths using MoveTo, LineTo, CurveTo, etc.
+2. **Flattening**: Curves are converted to line segments using adaptive subdivision
+3. **Triangulation**: Polygons are converted to triangles using ear-clipping algorithm
+4. **Batching**: Triangles are collected in batches to minimize draw calls
+5. **GPU Rendering**: Batches are uploaded to GPU via VBOs and rendered with shaders
+
+### Key Components
+
+#### 1. Shader System (`shaders.go`)
+
+Two shader programs:
+
+**Basic Shader** (for filled/stroked shapes):
+- Vertex shader: Transforms vertices using projection matrix
+- Fragment shader: Applies per-vertex colors
+
+**Texture Shader** (for text/glyphs):
+- Vertex shader: Transforms vertices and passes texture coordinates
+- Fragment shader: Samples texture and applies color/alpha
+
+#### 2. Triangulation (`triangulate.go`)
+
+Implements the **ear-clipping algorithm** to convert arbitrary polygons into triangles:
+- O(n²) worst case, but fast enough for typical GUI polygons
+- Handles concave polygons correctly
+- Produces minimal triangle count
+
+#### 3. Renderer (`gc.go`)
+
+The `Renderer` struct manages:
+- Shader programs and uniform locations
+- Vertex Buffer Objects (VBOs)
+- Batching buffers (vertices, colors, indices)
+- Projection matrix setup
+
+The `GraphicContext` implements `draw2d.GraphicContext`:
+- Integrates with draw2dbase for path handling
+- Converts paths to triangle batches
+- Manages graphics state (colors, transforms, line styles)

+
+## Usage Example
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "image/color"
+    "github.com/llgcode/draw2d/draw2dgles2"
+    "github.com/llgcode/draw2d/draw2dkit"
+)
+
+func main() {
+    // Initialize OpenGL context first (using GLFW, SDL, etc.)
+    // ... OpenGL context initialization ...
+    
+    // Create graphics context
+    gc, err := draw2dgles2.NewGraphicContext(800, 600)
+    if err != nil {
+        panic(err)
+    }
+    defer gc.Destroy()
+    
+    // Clear screen
+    gc.Clear()
+    
+    // Draw a filled rectangle
+    gc.SetFillColor(color.RGBA{255, 0, 0, 255})
+    draw2dkit.Rectangle(gc, 100, 100, 300, 300)
+    gc.Fill()
+    
+    // Draw a stroked circle
+    gc.SetStrokeColor(color.RGBA{0, 0, 255, 255})
+    gc.SetLineWidth(5)
+    draw2dkit.Circle(gc, 400, 400, 100)
+    gc.Stroke()
+    
+    // Flush batched drawing commands
+    gc.Flush()
+    
+    // Swap buffers
+    // ... swap buffers ...
+}
+```
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### OpenGL State Management
+
+The renderer minimizes OpenGL state changes:
+- Uses a single shader program per frame where possible
+- Batches primitives with the same shader
+- Sets up projection matrix once at initialization
+
+### Coordinate System
+
+Uses screen coordinates with origin at top-left:
+- (0, 0) = top-left corner
+- (width, height) = bottom-right corner
+- Y-axis points downward (standard GUI convention)
+
+The projection matrix transforms these coordinates to OpenGL's normalized device coordinates (-1 to 1).
+
+### Performance Considerations
+
+**Batching**: All drawing operations are batched until `Flush()` is called:
+```go
+gc.Fill()      // Adds to batch
+gc.Stroke()    // Adds to batch
+gc.Flush()     // Renders everything
+```
+
+**VBO Usage**: Dynamic VBOs with `GL_STREAM_DRAW` for frequent updates:
+- Buffers are resized automatically
+- Data is uploaded once per frame
+- Indexed rendering reduces vertex count
+
+**Triangle Count**: Ear-clipping produces O(n) triangles for n-vertex polygons:
+- Simple shapes: minimal triangles
+- Complex shapes: more triangles but still efficient
+- Curves are adaptively subdivided based on scale
+
+### Text Rendering
+
+Text rendering uses a hybrid approach:
+1. Glyphs are rasterized to textures (similar to draw2dimg)
+2. Textures are cached in GPU memory
+3. Text is rendered as textured quads
+
+For production use, consider implementing:
+- Texture atlas for glyph caching
+- SDF (Signed Distance Field) for scalable text
+- Subpixel antialiasing
+
+## Limitations and Future Work
+
+### Current Limitations
+
+1. **Text Rendering**: Uses rasterized glyphs (not GPU-accelerated)
+2. **Image Drawing**: `DrawImage()` not yet implemented
+3. **Antialiasing**: Relies on OpenGL's MSAA (no custom antialiasing)
+4. **Shader Effects**: No advanced shader effects yet
+
+### Planned Improvements
+
+1. **GPU Text Rendering**:
+   - Texture atlas for glyph caching
+   - SDF rendering for resolution-independent text
+   - Better performance for dynamic text
+
+2. **Advanced Features**:
+   - Gradient fills (linear, radial)
+   - Pattern fills
+   - Image texturing
+   - Shadow effects
+   - Blur effects
+
+3. **Optimizations**:
+   - Persistent VBOs for static geometry
+   - Instanced rendering for repeated shapes
+   - Frustum culling for large scenes
+   - GPU-based curve tessellation
+
+## API Compatibility
+
+`draw2dgles2` implements the `draw2d.GraphicContext` interface, making it a drop-in replacement for other backends:
+
+```go
+var gc draw2d.GraphicContext
+
+// Can use any backend:
+gc = draw2dimg.NewGraphicContext(img)     // CPU rasterizer
+gc = draw2dpdf.NewPdf(...)                 // PDF output
+gc, _ = draw2dgles2.NewGraphicContext(...) // GPU accelerated
+```
+
+All backends support the same drawing operations:
+- Path operations (MoveTo, LineTo, CurveTo, etc.)
+- Stroke/Fill/FillStroke
+- Text rendering
+- Transformations
+- Graphics state management
+
+## Requirements
+
+- OpenGL ES 2.0+ or OpenGL 3.0+
+- Go 1.20+
+- OpenGL binding library (e.g., go-gl)
+
+## Building
+
+```bash
+go get github.com/llgcode/draw2d/draw2dgles2
+go build your-app.go
+```
+
+Note: OpenGL library must be installed on your system.

+//   - Triangle-based rendering for filled shapes (using ear-clipping triangulation)
+//   - Efficient batching to minimize draw calls
